A mother panda and baby, nestle in a bright yellow patch of bamboo in this hand-stitched tapestry created by Suzan Nakavuma, Threads of Blessing artist. The work measures 9 x 9 inches.
Suzan lives in Kampala, the capital of Uganda. She will use the funds she receives for her needlework to provide education for her children, medical support for herself and her family, seeds or fertilizer for her crops, repairs to her home, and care for the orphans for whom she cares as a result of HIV/AIDS or other illnesses.
Suzan is a new member of this group and has learned quickly under their leadership. She meets weekly with her fellow needleworkers. The community they have developed through Threads of Blessing encourages each of them and has significantly raised their self-confidence.
